28 The Basics Touchscreen Your touchscreen provides an excellent way to interact with and use your Android phone. With the tap of your finger, you can download and use available applications, make menu selections, and access data saved to your phone. The following terms are used for describing the different available actions using the touchscreen: Touch or tap A single finger tap selects an item. For example, tap an icon (e.g., an application, widget, or folder), tap words (e.g., menu selection or to answer an on-screen question), or tap letters and numbers to type. Touch and hold Tap and hold an item on the screen by tapping it and not lifting your finger until an action occurs. For example, to open a Context menu for editing a contact, tap and hold a contact entry until the Context menu appears. Drag Tap and hold an item for a moment and then, without lifting your finger, move your finger on the screen until you reach the target position. You can drag items on the Home screen to reposition them and drag the Status Bar downward to open the Notifications panel. Swipe, slide, or flick Move your finger quickly across the surface of the screen, without pausing when you first tap it (so you don't drag an item instead). For example, you can slide the screen up or down to scroll a list or browse through the different Home screens by swiping from left to right (and vice versa), or remove an application from the Recent apps screen by flicking its graphic off the screen. Double-tap Double-tap to zoom in or out on a screen. For example, quickly double-tap a section of a web page to zoom in or out on that section to fit the width of the screen. You can also double-tap to control the zoom in Maps and in other applications. Pinch-to-Zoom Use your index finger and thumb in a pinch or spread motion to zoom in or out when using the Browser, a map, or pictures. This motion also changes the Home screen to mini canvas view. Auto-fit screen The resolution size of the downloaded application is optimized to phone's screen.
